Bet On The Oscars In The USA – Odds and How To Bet Guide

The 2018 Oscar nominations are in and the odds are available for anyone interested in betting on this years Academy Awards. The 2018 edition of the awards show is set to take place on March 4th, and once again be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, who did a solid job last year and has been asked to become the first person to host back-to-back Oscars ceremonies since Billy Crystal did so in the late 90’s.

On this page I will show the odds for some of the major categories, and also provide a simple 3 step guide to betting on the awards if you live in in America.

Where To Bet On The Oscars

Bovada is the best sportsbook for Americans looking to bet on the Oscars this year. All of the odds below were taken from the Bovada sportsbook in mid-February. I suggest checking on Bovada.lv for yourself to see the updated odds. You can find the Oscars on the Bovada sportsbook page by clicking on ‘Entertainment’ in the left sidebar at the site.

Best Picture

The Shape of Water is the favorite to win the coveted best picture award, but Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri and Lady Bird are also being given legitimate chances to win the award according to the odds.

Best Actor

According to the odds it seems like Gary Oldman is close to a sure thing to win the Best Actor award this year for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour. That said, you should never count out Daniel Day-Lewis who has odds of 15/1 to add another Academy Award to his resume.

Best Actress

Frances McDormand isn’t quite the favorite to win the Best Actress award as Gary Oldman is in the actor category, but she is still an overwhelming favorite for her role in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. Saoirse Ronan and Sally Hawkins are her main competition according to the odds, but it’s the long shots on this list that have the biggest names in Hollywood with Margot Robbie and Meryl Streep also having an outside shot at the award.

To see the odds for all of the other categories head over to Bovada.lv and select ‘Entertainment’ in the left sidebar of the sportsbook.
